Germany Third Party Logistics (3PL) Market to Grow at a CAGR of 3.30% During 2026-2035, Driven by the Booming E-Commerce Sector

Germany has emerged as the hub of automotive manufacturing, and the growth of the e-commerce sector in recent years is propelling the Germany third party logistics (3PL) market growth. 3PL services are affordable, enabling producers to provide customers with rapid product deliveries while allowing them to focus on their core manufacturing operations.

3PL companies provide tailored solutions that maximise every stage of the supply chain process in order to fortify a brand and broaden its appeal to the intended audience. Leading 3PL businesses in Germany offer cutting-edge services to support businesses in achieving both their long-term and short-term team objectives. The development of extensive highway networks, railways, and port infrastructure allows 3PLs to connect to national and international customers and easily transport goods to and from Germany.

Logistics companies focus on sustainability while maintaining the supply chain, which supports the 3PL service demand in Germany. In keeping with its own decarbonisation goals, DHL Group (ETR: DHL) signed an electricity supply agreement trading agreement with RWE Supply & Trading in January 2024. Through the agreement, the company aims to purchase approximately 104 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually from renewable sources starting in 2026.

This Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), for ten years, is expected to generate electricity from the German North Sea offshore wind farm Kaskasi, which has been in operation since the beginning of 2023. The corporation currently uses energy from Kaskasi to meet about 19% of its current annual electricity demand in Germany. By 2030, DHL Group expects to have invested up to EUR 7 billion in sustainability projects to reduce the environmental impacts of supply chains.
